The Department of Education has decided to withdraw the notice inviting applications for the fiscal year 2025 Charter Schools Program (CSP) grants to state entities. This withdrawal is part of a review to make sure the program aligns with current priorities and executive orders. The Department plans to issue a new notice soon, which aims to reduce oversight and simplify the application process. The withdrawal is not expected to disrupt the grant awards for FY 2025 since a new notice will be announced shortly.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Education had to stop their plan to ask for applications for special money they give to help new schools, like charter schools, because they want to make sure the plan is really good and matches what the new leaders want. They will make a new plan soon, so schools won't miss out on getting money.
